Alignment with UNESCO ESD Goals

ESD for 2030 Framework

TRANSFORMING LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS

The initiative transforms the school into a living lab of sustainability, where learners engage daily with environmental systems through an act of worship.
The wudhu stations and gardens function as interactive sustainability infrastructure, supporting experiential learning that is holistic, reflective, and tied to local context – an essential element of ESD for 2030.

EMPOWERING AND MOBILIZING THE YOUTH

Students are not passive observers but active participants: maintaining the system, caring for the plants, monitoring water flow, and even leading awareness campaigns.
This project helps build student agencies, responsibility, and eco-spiritual awareness, turning young people into change agents for sustainable development.

ACCELERATING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS AT LOCAL LEVEL

Green Ablution Project is a locally designed solution that uses existing infrastructure and cultural practices to address a global issue: water waste.
It offers a scalable, adaptable, and low- cost innovation that can be quickly adopted by other schools, mosques, and community institutions, especially in water- scarce or resource- limited settings.
